Celebrating 40 years since the premiere of the legendary (and regarded as scandalous) Monty Python movie Life of Brian, 400 screen around the world will show it again on April 18th. Two of them are in Bulgaria - Sofia's Dom na kinoto (19:30) and Plovdiv's Lucky Dom na kinoto (18:30).

On March 14 at 6:30 pm in Slaveykov Hall of the French Institute, director and researcher Georges Mourier will give a special lecture on his work on the restoration of the movie Napoleon by Abel Gans from 1927.

There are at least 4 months until the end of the season at the Metropolitan Opera, but there are only 3 shows live at Cinema City Sofia.Everyone who has been on such a screenplay in New York City vows that "It's like you're there!" So do not look at how the tickets drop, but quickly buy it at cinemacity.bg for 15/18BGN.

Some say that this Greek director is the new Bergman - because of his generous slow footage; that he is the new Lars von Trier - because of the violence in front of his lens; or that it is the new Michael Haneke - because of the silent shock you live with when you exit the cinema. In fact, Lanthimos is great because he's mostly like himself. Because of this are his recent ten Oscar nominations, including best director. His previous films - The Lobster, The Killing of a Secret Deer, Dog Tooth - pull us in the subconscious just as strongly as his last one, The Favourite. Right before its' premiere in Sofia, we lay out for you a couple of things about Yorgos.

We're aware that you're not able to watch all the TV series you want, but there is even worse news - 2019 will bring you a bunch of new ones to follow. For the next six, we're afraid, you just have to find time.

While in Venice the jury chooses one winner (from August 29th to September 8th), we are more gracious here and take six films in advance - anticipated titles we are hoping to get to us after the festival.

After running The Simpsons for 31 yeasr (and counting) and conquering the sci-fi world with his second animation series - Futurama, Matt Groening is now almost ready with his next big thing: Disenchantment, or "the medieval misadventures of a hard-drinking princess, her feisty elf, and her personal demon".

After exploring the caves in human psychе with movies such as Requiem for a Dream, The Black Swan and Mother!, Darren Aronofsky dives into documentary with a series on the history of Planet Earth, which happens to be just as crazy as we are.

A month of live broadcasts of Metropolitan Opera overflow the hall in Cinema City Sofia before we can get in the queue. So we dropped Love Elixir and La Boheme, so now we are publishing the show in advance until the end of the season, and you are waiting for tickets (15/18BGN) at cinemacity.bg - they run them a month before the dates.

Awards in laurel twigs, Oscar nominations in numbers, top actors in closeup and in CAPITAL LETTERS. All these are the hooks that movie posters use to get us to the theatres and we bite, even though we have no idea what kind of movie we are actually about to see and despite the feeling that we might not agree with the Academy... again.

If you're excited when Marvel will untie their next predator - it's the Black Panther in February, but 2018 is not just a year of comic books, sequels, and snakes. It's a fact that these predominate, but we dug up seven more pearls from the pile.

Do you imagine walking barefoot on the rough sand of the Sonora Desert in Mexico to start a new life in the States? It is unimaginable for us before we agree to go this way alone - into a dark hut in Fondazione Prada on the outskirts of Milan, where Alejandro G. Iñárritu directs our transformation into illegal immigrants. Virtually and just for seven minutes, in which you actually fall on your knees. This is Carne y Arena.

Once upon a time there were trailers too - at the end of a movie screening with the simple job to remind moviegoers to come back to the theatres the next week. Today trailers attack viewers months before the premiere of their TV shows or movies and are fighting battles against each other that can win the big war for ratings and box office domination.
